  2. Kappa curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa_curve

    The kappa curve has two vertical asymptotes. In geometry, the kappa curve or Gutschoven's curve is a two-dimensional algebraic curve resembling the Greek letter ϰ (kappa).The kappa curve was first studied by Gérard van Gutschoven around 1662.

  3. Curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvature

    The normal curvature, k n, is the curvature of the curve projected onto the plane containing the curve's tangent T and the surface normal u; the geodesic curvature, k g, is the curvature of the curve projected onto the surface's tangent plane; and the geodesic torsion (or relative torsion), τ r, measures the rate of change of the surface ...

  4. Frenet–Serret formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenet–Serret_formulas

    The first Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the normal N and the curvature κ, and the third Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the torsion τ. Thus what is needed is to show the second Frenet-Serret formula. Since T, N, B are orthogonal unit vectors with B = T × N, one also has T = N × B and N = B × T.

  5. Köhler theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köhler_theory

    The Köhler curve is the visual representation of the Köhler equation. It shows the saturation ratio – or the supersaturation = % – at which the droplet is in equilibrium with the environment over a range of droplet diameters.

  6. Intrinsic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_equation

    The Cesàro equation is obtained as a relation between arc length and curvature. The equation of a circle (including a line) for example is given by the equation κ ( s ) = 1 r {\displaystyle \kappa (s)={\tfrac {1}{r}}} where s {\displaystyle s} is the arc length, κ {\displaystyle \kappa } the curvature and r {\displaystyle r} the radius of ...

  7. Mean curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_curvature

    where the normal chosen affects the sign of the curvature. The sign of the curvature depends on the choice of normal: the curvature is positive if the surface curves "towards" the normal. The formula above holds for surfaces in 3D space defined in any manner, as long as the divergence of the unit normal may be calculated. Mean Curvature may ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    The first four modes of a vibrating freefree Euler-Bernoulli beam. A freefree beam is a beam without any supports. [ 6 ] The boundary conditions for a freefree beam of length L {\displaystyle L} extending from x = 0 {\displaystyle x=0} to x = L {\displaystyle x=L} are given by:
